The final round of lightning tribulation came with terrifying force. After enduring the first five bolts, Phoenix Feather Crow was finally struck unconscious by the sixth Heavenly Lightning.
Like a bird with broken wings, Phoenix Feather Crow fell helplessly downward.
Just as it was about to plunge into the Demon Abyss, a strand of demonic qi caught it and held its body in place.
Sensing that someone else had interfered with the lightning tribulation, the tribulation clouds flew into a rage. They swiftly locked onto Xu Chunniang and emanated an immense pressure.
Xu Chunniang used demonic qi to shield Phoenix Feather Crow, helping it disperse the lingering lightning within its body. After roughly tending to its injuries, she raised her eyes to the tribulation clouds above.
"I raised this bird with so much painstaking effort. It can't just die like this. I'll take the last three bolts for it."
The tribulation clouds suddenly condensed two bolts of divine lightning. One continued toward Phoenix Feather Crow, while the other came for Xu Chunniang, determined to teach her an unforgettable lesson.
"How heartless."
Boundless demonic qi erupted from Xu Chunniang's body, blocking the lightning above Phoenix Feather Crow.
As for the one aimed at herself, she would not die from it anyway. If she had to take it, then she would take it.
The tribulation clouds silently expanded, sending down another two bolts of divine lightning that struck Xu Chunniang together.
After those two bolts came another two...
The tribulation clouds seemed to have locked horns with her. They ignored even the true target, intent only on striking her.
Fine. It was not as though she minded if they came for her.
Xu Chunniang sent out a strand of demonic qi to awaken Phoenix Feather Crow, then began enduring the lightning strikes.
